In FIG. 2, the automatic transmission control means is provided with shift pattern mode selecting means 1 for selecting a shift pattern mode, shift pattern setting means 3 for setting a shift pattern from the mode which is selected by the shift pattern mode selecting means 1, and automatic transmission control means 4 for controlling the shift operation on the basis of the shift pattern which is set by the shift pattern setting means 3.
In FIG. 3, the suspension control device is provided with suspension mode selecting means 2 for selecting a damping force of a suspension, and suspension control means 5 for controlling the switching of the damping force in accordance with the suspension mode which is selected by the suspension mode selecting means 2.
The operation of the means and device will now be described. A driver selects the shift pattern by operating the shift pattern mode selecting means 1. The shift pattern setting means 3 is provided with shift patterns as shown in FIG. 4 in which shift points are set on the basis of a vehicle speed and a throttle opening. Further, in an economy mode wherein the fuel consumption has priority, the shift point is positioned at a lower speed side, and, in a power mode wherein the driving force and acceleration are given with priority, the shift point is positioned at a higher speed side. In the shift pattern setting means 3, the shift pattern of the mode which is selected by the shift pattern mode selecting means 1 is set. The automatic transmission control means 4 shown in FIG. 2 controls the automatic transmission on the basis of information such as the vehicle speed, throttle opening and the shift pattern which are set by the shift pattern setting means 3. In the suspension control device of FIG. 3, the driver selects the damping force of the suspension by operating the suspension mode selecting means 2. Depending on the mode selected by the suspension mode selection means 2, the suspension control means 5 controls the suspension so as to switch the damping force.
In the conventional automatic transmission control means and suspension control device which are configured as described above, the shift pattern used in the automatic transmission control means 4 is exclusively selected by the shift pattern mode selecting means 1, and therefore the shift pattern remains unchanged even when the running conditions are changed and another mode for the suspension is selected. Accordingly, there is a problem in that the shift operation dose not match a desired running condition of the vehicle and hence the vehicle fails to perform in accordance with the desired running condition.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The invention has been made to obviate the aforementioned, providing an automatic transmission control device which allows a vehicle to operate in accordance with the driver's requirement so as to improve driveability.
The automatic transmission control device in the present invention comprises shift pattern setting means for setting a shift pattern on the basis of information from shift pattern mode selecting means and suspension selecting means.

According to the invention, the shift pattern set means sets a shift pattern, on the basis of the selected shift pattern mode for the automatic transmission, which is selected by the shift pattern mode selecting means and the damping force of the suspension, which in turn is selected by the suspension mode selecting means.
